Title: Improvements in Reinforced Concrete Construction.
Inventor: BURROWES SIDNEY
IPC: E04C5/065
Filed: 1909-04-13
Granted: 1910-02-10
Abstract: 8737. Burrowes, S. April 13. Reinforced concrete.-Relates to laminated reinforcements in which the strips are bent outwards in succession to form shear or transverse members beginning from the centre, the outer ends of the shear members being again bent and connected together to form secondary tension members. The novel feature consists in bending the ends of the secondary members and securing them to the main members. Fig. 1 shows a beam reinforcement, the ends of the upper and lower tension members being turned down vertically and bound together. Fig. 3 shows a column. The application to an arch is also described.

Patent GB-190923035-A (GB)
Title: A New or Improved Machine for Re-making Wire Drawing Dies.
IPC: B21C3/18
Filed: 1909-10-08
Granted: 1910-10-10
Abstract: 23,035. Turmbull, N. K., and British Steel and Wire Co. Oct. 8. Planishing and beating.-In a machine for remaking wire-drawing dies, these are fed through a furnace on to an anvil, which is caused to move in a decreasing spiral below a pneumatic hammer. The anvil C, with a centring-pin c, is mounted on a leg C' having a ball joint C<2>, and is moved by a lever C<3>, pivoted on a slide C<4> and connected to an upright lever C<6>. This lever is pivoted at C<7> in a rotable member D driven from the shaft D', and is engaged by a pin C<10> in an inclined slot C<9>. The pin C'‹ is mounted in a secondary member C<11> loose on the hollow shaft C<8>, on which the member D is fixed, but is compelled to rotate therewith. Between the members D, C" is a member C<12> having an incline-stepped upper surface and driven from the shaft D<2> at a slower speed than the members C<11>, so that this rises and falls as well as rotates, thus giving the spiral motion to the lever C<5>, The valve B<1> of the hammer B is opened through a lost-motion device B<7> by the member C" as soon as it commences to rise, and is held open till it falls. In order to start the machine, the handle F<4>, Fig. 2, is operated to turn the stepped cam F, thus bring- ing it out of engagement with the plunger C<16> and allowing it to move axially under the action of the spring F<6> to engage the driving-clutch D<5>, D<6>. The plunger C<16> is connected to the member C" and so rises clear of the cam F, which returns to its original position under the action of a spring F<5>, so that, when the plunger falls, it engages the incline of the cam and opens the clutch. To prevent the hammer from operating when there is no die on the anvil, the supply air passes through a second valve G<1>, which is opened by the slight upward movement of the head B<12> caused by the insertion of the die.

Abstract: 23,860. Berendonck, P. E. van. Oct. 18. Check elastic valves.-A pneumatic elevator for granulated material comprises a pump cylinder 1, which is connected to a pipe 7 communicating through a valve 17 and a branch pipe 14 with the charging-chamber 21, one end 27 of which dips into the material and the ether end extends into a vertical pipe 25 and is closed by a non-return valve 23. The valve 17 comprises a piece of flexible leather gripped between flanges 15 so that it is adapted to close either the pipe 27 or the pipe 12 according to the air pressure acting upon it. In a modification, the charging-chamber and the discharging-pipe 25 are connected by a flattened rubber tube, which acts as a non-return valve, in place of the valve 23.

Patent GB-191001628-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Coaster Hubs for Velocipedes and the like.
IPC: B62L5/00
Filed: 1910-01-21
Granted: 1911-02-21
Abstract: 1628. Rudge-Whitworth, Ltd., and Blair, W. Jan. 21. Clutches, free-wheel.-Relates to coaster hubs for velocipedes &c., of the kind wherein one or more floating double-acting pawls are mounted in one or more recesses in the driving-member to serve to connect the member with either the hub shell or the brake-operating member, as required. According to the invention, the movement of the pawl from one to the other of its engaging positions is effected by the contour of the recess in the driving-member, the contour being such that on a small circumferential movement of the pawl within this recess a point thereof is elevated or depressed to effect the required engagement, and the circumferential movement is caused by spring-produced friction of the pawl with an opposing part. As shown in Figs. 4 and 6, a double-acting pawl k, m, arranged to engage internal ratchet rings upon the hub g and the brake-operating member o, is pressed outwards by a spring t operating through a member u and a peg s. The recess h is formed at each end with a pocket so that, when a relative movement takes place between the driving-member b and the part k of the pawl, and the tail of the part k is coming into engagement with its corresponding end of the recess, a part v of the driving- member inserts itself between the pawl and the ratchet ring on the hub, and, as the pawl moves down into the pocket, the peg s presses the free end outwards and so tilts the pawl. The ratchet teeth on the brake member and the hub may be external or internal on both of the members, or the teeth may be external on one member and internal on the other. The pawl may, moreover, be arranged to lie in a plane at an angle to that of the ratchet rings, and the mechanism can be used in conjunction with variable-speed gear. According to the Provisional Specification, in the case where the hub and brake member have internal and external ratchet teeth, respectively, and the driving-member is recessed circularly at its inner end to accommodate the brake member, the flange portion created by the circular recess forms a backing for the braking-tail of the pawl at one end of the pawl racess and at the other end for a lateral continuation of the tail of the driving-side of the pawl, if such continuation is desired.

Abstract: 6880. Barton, J. H. March 18. Telescopes &c., prismatic. The thickness of prismatic field and theatre glasses and telescopes is reduced so that they may be carried in an ordinary coat pocket. This is effected by disposing the two right-angle prisms in separate cases hinged together in order that one of them can be turned through an angle of 90 degrees relatively to the other for the position of use. Figs. 1 and 2 show a binocular field or theatre glass in sectional elevation and plan respectively.

Abstract: 30,368. Bachl, H. Dec. 31. Rotary-mould-table machines for making artificial stones, tiles, and briquettes from clay, cement, coal, ores, &c. are provided with means for filling the moulds under a uniform preliminary pressure and for removing surplus material before applying the final pressure, so as to obtain blocks of uniform size and density. Fig. 1 indicates an arrangement in which material passing from a hopper 4 into the mould at I is subjected to a preliminary pressure by an hydraulic piston 7 at II, the plunger 2 is raised to a predetermined level by a roller 9 at III, the final pressure is applied at IV after surplus material has been removed by a scraper 11, and the pressed block is discharged at V. In a modification shown in Fig. 2, the hopper 19 is extended at one side, and is fitted with a piston 22 for imparting the preliminary pressure, the wall of the hopper extension acting as a strickle to remove surplus material. Instead of hydraulic devices, spring pistons are preferably employed for applying the preliminary pressure. Figs. 3 and 4 show one form of machine in which the preliminary pressure device comprises a plunger 91 mounted on rods 92, 93 carrying a plate 94 and passing through a plate 90 attached to a rod 88 operated by a lever 81; a spring 97 is interposed between the plates 90, 94, and is adjusted, according to the preliminary pressure desired, by nuts 95, 96 on the rods 92, 93 above the plate 90. The lever 81 is secured to a rock-shaft 77, which is actuated from a corresponding rock-shaft 48 below the table through levers 54, 80 coupled by a rod 83. A crank 43 on the main shaft 37 rocks the shaft 48 through a rod 44 and lever 47. Eccentrics 52, 78 on the shafts 48, 77 operate the main pressing-plungers 39, 85, and lever devices 60, 67 actuated from the shaft 48 operate the ejecting-piston 64 and the plungerretractor 73, respectively. The shaft 37, which drives the table by an arm 41, passes through the feed vessel 38 and is provided with a stirrer 42. At the side of the feed vessel is located a chamber 98 in which the plunger 91 operates. The preliminary pressing-device may be located beneath the mould table.
